The 15 US gifts to give the women in your life | Gift ideas from the Filter US

Jennifer P’s sister gifted her this adjustable sleep mask for Christmas because her sleep quality improves in dark settings. “It’s great,” says the pediatric psychiatrist. “It doesn’t put pressure on your eyes.” Its luxurious (and highly giftable) silk eye cups are also designed to be gentle on your hair and skin, and feel like a dream no matter your sleep position. Our sleep mask tester tried 24 models and loved the Manta for its customizable design, which lets you reposition the eye cups for a perfect fit.

Bathorium

The Crush 8-Pack Gift Set

from $41.96

A thoughtful gift doesn’t need to be expensive, nor a pain to wrap. These pre-packaged bath soaks in soothing scents such as Vanilla Cream and Rosemary Citrus Emulsion bring the spa to her bathroom. “My husband stuffs these in my Christmas stocking knowing I love taking baths,” says Jaclyn Hoffman, an engagement manager. “You can get a pack of them, and they’re single-use bath salts in all different flavors.”

Amazon

Kindle Paperwhite

$124.99

Whether she’s a self-professed book nerd or an aspiring reader meaning to make a dent in her list of recommended titles, a Kindle can be a gateway to a prolonged reading habit. “[My husband] Nick got me a Kindle in 2018 and I read [on it] every single day, so it’s truly the gift that keeps on giving,” says Melanie Weinstein, a senior UX strategist. “Seven years later, I still use it every day. It’s probably the best gift I’ve ever gotten in terms of usage.” The Kindle’s glare-free screen, long battery life and lightweight feel will invite her to take it everywhere.

Fujifilm

Instax Mini Link 3 Smartphone Printer

from $137.99

“Last year, my husband got me the most perfect gift,” says Jacqueline Hopmeyer, a marketing director. “I love printing pictures and Polaroids, but this connects to your phone so you can take any picture from your phone and turn it into a Polaroid.” Grab this value pack that comes with 20 sheets and a protective case for the sentimental person in your life. 

Yeti

Rambler Vacuum Bottle with Chug Cap

from $28

Her emotional support water bottle has seen better days. This heavy-duty Yeti will become the instant favorite in her rotation. “My brother gifted me a Yeti water bottle on my birthday a few years ago and it has basically become one of my organs,” says Katelyn Thomas, a reporter. “I have actual separation anxiety when we’re apart. I love that it keeps my water cold for hours, and the fact that I can swap out the chug cap for the commuter cap if I want to use it for a hot beverage instead.”

Oura

Oura Ring 4 Ceramic Smart Ring

from $499

At this point, the Oura smart ring hardly needs any introduction with its devoted following of celebrities and athletes alike. If you can swing the price tag, it’s an ideal gift for someone who has her finger on the pulse on all things wellness.

“The Oura ring has been amazing for me,” says Hoffman. “I got it for Christmas two years ago and I’ve worn it every day since. It tracks your everyday health, stress, sleep and activity. Even if you’re sick with a cold, it’ll pick up on it.” Hoffman also keeps tabs on her Rem sleep, and calories burned during workouts. Importantly, it passes the test all jewelry must pass: “Aesthetically, it also looks good on your hand.”

Hotel Lobby

Holiday Soy Wax Candle

$60

Get her space smelling like a boutique hotel with this festive and display-worthy candle boasting invigorating notes of evergreen, crisp pine and woodsy balsam fir. “This candle is a holiday must for me, and I like it so much I’ve gifted it to friends. It’ll make your house smell divine,” says Ayana Lage, a writer. “I burn it year-round.”

Dolce & Gabbana

Light Blue, Eau De Toilette Spray

from $90

Scent is profoundly linked to memory, so take her back to her youth this holiday with this universally beloved fruity and floral fragrance. “I just got the Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue perfume,” says Weinstein. “I used to wear it in high school. It was one of the first perfumes I ever got and I fell in love with it again.”

Dyson

Supersonic Nural Hair Dryer

from $399

When Maria Rivero’s partner gifted her the Dyson Supersonic Nural Hair Dryer – widely considered the Rolls Royce of grooming products – she knew she was in for a treat. “I love it because it dries my hair really quickly,” says the civil engineer. “The different attachments make it super easy to switch depending on what I need, it’s pretty quiet, and my hair honestly appreciates that the heat isn’t so aggressive.” 

Aritzia

Best-Ever Crew Sock, 5-Pack

$28

She doesn’t need more kitschy socks with bizarre festive patterns she’ll wear one week out of the year. Trust Chantal Stafford-Abbott, a model, when she says these athletic Aritizia crew socks “fit well, they stay up, and they are the best of the best. They’re worth the buy because you wear them every day. I got them from a girlfriend, and then I’ve just kept buying them myself because I’m addicted.”

Caudalie

Prep & Glow Bestsellers Trio

from $49

For self-care in a bottle, consider the way Caudalie’s top skincare products, such as a detoxifying mask and glow-inducing mist, aim to bring her back to life. “My girlfriend gifted me this trio of Caudalie products in the days after my C-section,” says Thomas. “In the post-partum madness – when something as simple as washing your face in the morning isn’t necessarily possible – it was really nice to be able to just spray on the beauty elixir and feel semi-human again.”

Candle Lume

Espresso Martini Glass Candle

from $25

“My sister gifts me candles every year for Christmas and my birthday,” says Sydney Davloor, a marketing specialist. “I use them all year almost every night.” This espresso candle from Anthropologie is her favorite because it “just makes me feel so at home, and it’s nice and cozy with the fresh smell of coffee constantly”.

Working triple-duty as artwork, a conversation piece, and a family-friendly activity for a cozy night indoors, this vibrant 1,000-piece puzzle is a thoughtful and practical gift for anyone who needs a little less screen time. “My sister-in-law got me a gorgeous puzzle one year for Christmas, and I love that this puzzle company is so aesthetic and fun,” says Weinstein.

Google

Nest Audio Smart Speaker

from $69.83

If she hasn’t yet experienced how useful a smart speaker can be for everything, from playing music to setting kitchen timers, this model makes a great introduction. “My brother got me a Google Nest smart speaker for moving into my apartment,” says Stacy Pollack, a change management consultant. “I love that it’s easy to use, looks cute, is perfect for my office desk, and has lasted me a few years.”

“My husband has randomly gotten me a new iPhone when mine got beat up,” says Hoffman. “It’s not something you’d think to get for yourself, especially if you’re not a techie person like me. I just got the newest one and the picture-taking is incredible.” Beyond its next-level camera, the iPhone 17 has a clean design and Apple Intelligence for creating your own emoji.
